Firth of Clyde Forum Annual Conference 2005

Earning Our Living: the Firth of Clyde as a Sustainable Economic Resource

Welcome to the Proceedings of the Firth of Clyde Forum's Annual Conference 2005

Earning Our Living was held in the Lighthouse, Scotland’s Centre for Architecture, Design and the City, in Glasgow on the 23rd November 2005. It was very well attended by almost 100 delegates from local authorities, businesses, environmental bodies, community groups and interested individuals. The venue was also fitting and interesting with the added bonus for delegates of being able to browse around the exhibitions and to admire an impressive view over the city.

Again, as can be seen from the conference proceedings here, it was very full day and time was limited for questions. We intend to remedy this timing element next time by including more and longer discussion slots. However, there were nevertheless some interesting discussions had both in the formal sessions and informally.

We would welcome any comments you have on the conference or the articles presented here and hope you find the proceedings interesting.

Many thanks to the speakers who presented their work in such an interesting and stimulating way and also to all who attended and made the day such a success.
